Within the FutureMARES project, Deltares will use a 3D model representing the water levels and flows, as well as water quality and ecology in the North Sea to predict the effects of large-scale cultivation of seaweed and mussels and native flat oyster restoration. This will be done for different future scenarios of combined socio-economic and climate changes, up to 2100. The results will help evaluating if these activities are viable in such contexts, what their effects will be on the North Sea ecology and if/how they can help adapting to- or mitigating climate change.
